So what? That’s part of the natural CO2 cycle. The problem isn’t carbon dioxide. The problem is adding CO2 from fossil fuels. As long as there is a net growth forest there is no problem. Just make sure you replant trees cut down. It is more important that we start extracting coal and oil.
- kiliantics 5y agoA human-managed forest and a naturally evolved forest are very different things. When we plant trees, it's basically another farm, rather than the rich ecosystem that was originally there and destroyed by us. They also have very different carbon dynamics. The only way to recapture that same level of carbon that the original forest had, is to "rewild" the land and allow a full, old-growth style forest to grow back, which takes a lot longer than just planting some fast-growing trees in straight lines.
